The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

Gu Yunzhou was filled with thoughts, thinking that the emperor was already quite old now, and each of his brothers had his own plans.

He is now ahead of all his brothers and thinks he still has some chance of winning.

Gu Yunzhou spent the entire palace banquet in a state of racing thoughts. In addition, it was time for the emperor to rest, after all, he still needed to get up very early for the morning court tomorrow.

So the emperor directly announced the end of the palace banquet. After everyone respectfully saw the emperor and empress off and left Qingliang Palace, they also left.

Qin Wenlan also said goodbye to Concubine Shu next to him, and Concubine Shu directly asked Gu Changan to send Qin Wenlan out of the palace.

Before, because Qin Wenlan saw Wen Ruyu and the wife of Duke Dingguo were also there, he paid more attention to everything happening in Qingliang Palace.

I didn't expect that there would be no movement at all during the entire palace banquet from beginning to end.

He seemed to be very well behaved. I don't know why he didn't come over to cause trouble. Maybe there was something he didn't notice.

But now that it was time to leave the palace, I felt a sense of relief for some reason.

After all, this is inside the imperial palace, and many things cannot be done too obviously.

It would be the best if they could be so safe. If Wen Ruyu and the others really had any conspiracy or tricks today, she could only fight back.

No matter what, Qin Wenlan didn't want to use her abilities unless it was absolutely necessary. In this life, she just wanted to repay Gu Changan's kindness in her previous life!

Besides, even if he had these abilities, it would be impossible for him to become an enemy of the entire imperial court.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Now she calmly followed the crowd on the way out of the palace. The princes in front of her were still walking side by side like good brothers as always.

The noble ladies continued to gather together and talk as they walked out of the palace.

Qin Wenlan followed them slowly on his own, listening to them talking about which store had the most expensive things and which store had the best things. They seemed to be in a harmonious mood.

Qin Wenlan thought these noble ladies were quite amazing. They were so tired after a whole day, yet they were still so enthusiastic.

Fortunately, they soon arrived at the palace gate, and finally said goodbye to each other and got into their own carriages to leave.

Everyone watched as Prince An followed Qin Wenlan directly into the Qin family's carriage, while the carriage from Prince An's mansion followed closely behind.

The two carriages drove slowly towards the Qinhou Mansion.

Princess Cheng, Sun Qianbi, was sitting in the carriage on her way back to the Huaiyang Marquis' Mansion. Thinking of the scene just now, she suddenly felt envious and jealous of Qin Wenlan.

No matter how Prince An will treat Qin Wenlan in the future, at least Prince An is treating her with real care now.

At the very least, her current situation is incomparable to others. How can she, who just came back from the Qin family manor, receive the sincere treatment of Prince An?

Princess Yu Li Jiawei got into her own carriage and immediately closed her eyes. She leaned against a backrest inside the carriage without saying a word. She was so tired that she just wanted to lie down quickly.

I was just chatting and laughing with those noble ladies, there was really no way around it. Now that I'm back in my own carriage, do I have to keep pretending?

As Princess Li Jiang Minxi entered her own carriage, her face looked very bad. The maid brought her a soft pillow for her to lean on, but seeing her expression, no one dared to say anything more.

Jiang Minxi thought that Prince Li would at least pretend to see her off like Prince An did, but after watching her get on the carriage, he turned around and left.

It's really infuriating and annoying. Prince An can even sit directly in the carriage of Marquis Qin's mansion. He is also a prince, so why can't he follow and send him off?

Could it be that she is not as good as a vulgar man who just came back from the Qin family manor?

The carriage was on the way back to Qin Hou's mansion, and Qin Wenlan and Prince An sat opposite each other.

She looked at the person in front of her and said, "Actually, you don't have to do this. Just leave the palace!

You're so tired after such a busy day. You should go back and rest early. After all, you have to attend court tomorrow!"

"Are you annoyed by my meddling? Or do you feel uncomfortable having me around?"

Qin Wenlan: ...

"You really don't know what's good or bad?" Qin Wenlan muttered.

When Gu Changan was about to say something else, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and then he quickly reached out to pull Qin Wenlan over. Suddenly, a cold light pierced directly through the position where Qin Wenlan had just been.

It pierced through the wall of the carriage, and wood chips scattered all over the ground.

This was also the reason why Qin Wenlan did not release his spiritual sense to scan when he was talking to Gu Changan just now.

The night breeze was blowing, and the curtains on the carriage windows blocked his view. Qin Wenlan scanned the outside with his spiritual sense, grabbed a snack plate in the carriage and threw it over.

The plate collided with the assassin's blade with a sound of breaking through the air, making a series of harsh sounds, which just happened to block the knife that was coming towards Gu Changan.

As soon as they encountered the assassin, Liang Yong and others who followed behind immediately rushed over.

"Hurry and protect the prince and Miss Qin."

Gu Changan kicked the window of the carriage open, flew out, and started fighting with the assassins outside.

The horse was frightened by the assassination and neighed and ran away wildly. Qin Wenlan held Mudan with one hand and picked up the coachman with the other hand, and jumped off the carriage.

On the other side, Gu Changan's guards had already rushed over to chase the frightened horse.

In fact, Qin Wenlan had just cast a soothing talisman, and the horse would not continue to be violent for much longer.

Qin Wenlan said to Mudan and the coachman, "Hurry up and find a place to hide. No matter how violent the fighting is outside, don't come out."

Then he quietly cast a defensive talisman, which could be considered a kind of protection for his own people!

"I understand, master." Mudan responded immediately.

"Yes, miss." The coachman also responded.

As soon as Qin Wenlan arranged them, he rushed over and joined the battle.

With a "bang", Qin Wenlan hit a man in black with a dart, causing the man to take a few steps back before he could stand firm. His arm quickly dropped down.

Waves of pain came over him. Miss Qin's martial arts were really powerful. She hit him in one round.

"Are you hurt?" After kicking a man in black away, Gu Changan turned and asked Qin Wenlan.

"How could I be injured?" Qin Wenlan responded.

"Are you injured?"

"Fortunately, I dodged it." Gu Changan handed the big knife that he had just snatched from the man in black to Qin Wenlan.

How could Qin Wenlan want it!

If her kung fu could be exposed to the public, these assassins would not have survived until now. They would probably have met their demise in just one round.

"You should keep it for yourself. I have enough skills to protect myself, but you have to be careful. Each of these men in black is ruthless. It's better to fight quickly, otherwise things will get worse."

"Your Majesty, Miss Qin."

Liang Yong brought his men around and saw that Qin Wenlan was unarmed, so he handed his long sword to her, then took out a short blade from his body and held it tightly.

Qin Wenlan: ...

It seems that I have to continue pretending to be weak!

The men in black had quickly surrounded them. In the pitch-black night, it was impossible to tell how many men in black there were. They could only be identified by the cold light of the weapons in their hands.

Looking at the cold light flashing in the weapons, people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. This was just Gu Changan and his group!

For Qin Wenlan, it was clear. If he didn't need to pretend to be weak in front of outsiders, Qin Wenlan would have wanted to kill them all!

But then he thought again, Gu Changan and his group were not really without a chance of winning, so he decided to continue pretending to be weak!
